My Mom is a really special person. Actually she is my step-mom but we have always had a very special bond between us since I was very young and she raised me from an early age so she has been the only Mother I have really ever known.

Every year since I was a kid we have the traditional conversation. I ask her what she would like for Mothers Day and every year she says, 'Oh just make me something from the heart'. I say 'But Mom, I'm not as good as you at making things' and she gives the Best Mom's response, 'It doesn't matter, if it's from you i will love it'.

So here is my Gift From The Heart to my Mom, something soft for her to rest on.

RE: So here is my Gift From The Heart to my Mom, something soft for her to rest on. Lovely sentiment Deb. I think this pillow is the perfect expression of it. So, just to clarify, did you cut out the worded portions of the overlay from plain fabric using the Cricut Expression Machine? A great feature to have. Without it, this seems easy enough to duplicate with a fabric marker, stencils and some fine scissors.

Yes, I used the Cricut Expression to cut all the words and hearts. It is easy enough to duplicate except I have lost a lot of feeling in my hands except for what the arthritis does and it would have taken me days on end without it. I can provide you a printable stencil if you would like one.
